Bones Are Remains Of St. Cloud Man

June 29, 1985

The bones of a man found east of Orlando during a search for 6-year-old Regina Mae Armstrong were identified Friday as the remains of a missing Osceola County man.

Cmdr. John Guemple of the Orange County Sheriff's Office said the bones were those of William Legg, 32, of St. Cloud, who was reported missing by his family in July of 1983. Guemple said Legg was identified using dental records.

An autopsy did not reveal the cause of Legg's death, Guemple said, so the death still is being treated as suspicious. The bones were found Wednesday in a palmetto thicket several hundred feet north of Orlando General Hospital as several hundred sailors and deputies were searching for clues that might help them find Regina.
